Normally, there is no reduction available for an empty property, so the full charge will be payable . However under certain circumstances your property may qualify for an empty property exemption.

If the property remains empty for over one year, you may be charged an extra 100% Council Tax on top of the full Council Tax for the property. View more information on Council Tax premiums.

There are a number of ways to pay your Council Tax; the easiest way is to pay by Direct Debit, payments are taken each month from your bank account so that you do not miss a payment. 

If you do not set up a Direct Debit, or ask to pay over 12 months, your payments will be set up over 10 monthly instalments. View details of other ways you can pay your Council Tax.
